The Broken Possessors of the Infinite Regression Academy - Chapter 200



Chapter 200 – The Broken Possessors of the Infinite Regression Academy (Complete)

‘Is this really the Earth I knew?’

Leaving the two behind after completing a quick first aid procedure and going outside the gate to hide, the city had really changed a lot.

People wearing armor and carrying weapons and people in strange clothes were casually walking through the streets, and occasionally, people were seen riding animals or monsters as if they were summoned beasts.

The important thing is that no one on the street found the situation strange or tried to stop them.

It was ridiculous. Doesn’t this mean that the world has become like a world in a hunter novel?

I had a serious suspicion that I had not returned to my original world, but had entered another novel, a hunter novel at that. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to believe.

“Why is that person like that? Is he crazy?”

“Leave them alone. We’ll only get hurt if we get involved with those guys.”

I could hear people around me muttering. It was natural. My body was currently blocking visual information with mana. It probably seemed like my entire body was covered in noise.

Unless you are a very ill-tempered person, it is normal to not want to get involved.

‘I have to get moving first.’

According to the information I extracted from the guy who attacked me, the current Republic of Korea is a country that exists only in name, but is actually being led around by a certain guild.

This was because, due to the worldwide phenomenon of gate creation, even exchanges between countries became impossible without skilled hunters.

‘I guess that makes sense… … .’

There is definitely an army on Earth. But it seems like you can’t catch monsters without hunters. It’s an element that makes me doubt even more if this isn’t a world in a novel.

I walked for a while, looking around. My destination was ‘Eternal’, a huge guild that practically dominates South Korea.

There was a reason why the first place you stopped by after exiting the gate was not your home but the guild.

‘I need to check if this is the Earth I knew.’

To do that, I had to go to the place where I could get the most reliable information, not to my house. I was thinking of just going there and getting some information.

The guy who attacked me, Cha Du-han, was a top-tier A-class fighter, so my skills will definitely not be inferior to those of people in this world. I don’t know what I’ll be like compared to top-tier fighters, though.

It was a crazy way to do it, even if I thought about it myself, but I had no choice. If I had time to think about it properly, I would have thought of a better way, but I didn’t even have time for that right now.

Right now, I don’t know what happened to the seven people who entered before me, I don’t know if they’ve properly returned to the Earth I knew, and if not, I don’t know if I can return.

So, we have no choice but to resort to extreme, outrageous, and most certain method.

‘What should I do if you don’t even want to meet me?’

If there’s one problem, it’s that the guild only accepts female hunters as members and unconditionally rejects men, regardless of their skill level.

If the guild leader was a woman with a strong misandry disposition, then there was a good chance that the meeting itself would be rejected.

‘I don’t know. Let’s go and think about it.’

It was a luxury to even worry about what would happen next. I had to go and cause some trouble, meet them if I could, and find out information about this world as quickly as possible.

If this method fails? That’s something to think about then. Let’s move forward at least one step before we have time to plan Plan B.

With that in mind, I crossed Seoul using my body enhancements while remaining as inconspicuous as possible, and finally arrived at the location of the Eternal Guild’s headquarters building.

‘… … It’s really dirty and big.’

I heard something from the guy who attacked me, but even taking that into account, it was an absurd place.

The building was a whopping 80 stories tall, and the area of ​​the first floor seemed to be the size of four large stadiums connected together. Given the size of the building itself, the area of ​​the surrounding land would be endless.

A five-story apartment-height wall made of an unusual metal rises along the property boundary, covered in surveillance cameras and covered in blue defensive magic that covers the entire building.

At the entrances and exits, of which there was only one in each of the four cardinal directions, there were ten hunters wearing cutting-edge armor that looked like suits from a science fiction movie, standing guard in pairs on all sides.

Of course, they were all women.

“… … .”

“… … .”

He approached the entrance, revealing himself openly.

The hunters who had checked me out sharpened their gazes. Their hands went to the weapons on their waists, and their index fingers touched their ears as if they were making contact with someone. The surveillance cameras near the entrance turned to me one after another.

I moved closer. The hunter who seemed to be the leader stopped in front of me, ready to draw his weapon at any moment.

“Stop, stop. This area is restricted. Identify yourself and your unit.”

I ignored them and tried to go inside. As soon as I did, the hunter who seemed to be the leader, as well as the other nine, immediately drew their weapons and surrounded me.

“This is your final warning. Failure to comply with these instructions will result in immediate death, and our guild will not hold the guards at the main gate responsible for the deaths of those who raise their hands. Identify yourself and your affiliation immediately.”

“If I reveal my affiliation and status, can I meet the highest ranking person in your guild?”

“That guy is crazy. Arrest him! Be careful, we don’t know what kind of power he has!”

The helmet rose from the neck of the armor and wrapped around the head with a clanking sound. As the connection was complete, a blue light leaked out from the visor over the eyes.

That really looks like a suit.

“Sorry. I’m a little desperate.”

He used his body strengthening and pulled out his dragon sword. These guards are just doing their job, so he has no intention of killing them. Before the hunters could even react, he moved his feet and swung his arms.

The very next moment, I was right in front of the main gate, and the weapons the hunters were holding were shattered into pieces.

“What the… … !”

The hunters, who had been looking at me and my shattered weapon in confusion as I appeared right in front of the main gate, immediately took action.

“Intruder detected! Get into a response state immediately! Request support!”

-Why the heck!!!!!

All entrances on the first floor of the building were sealed off with an ear-splitting high-pitched sound. The barriers were made thicker and lowered to the main entrance to prevent intruders from escaping.

Then, a dimensional gate opened and hunters wearing the same armor as the guards we had just faced poured out.

Several dozen hunters surrounded me. I obediently raised both hands. Of course, I didn’t let go of the Dragon Sword. I raised my hands only to avoid a useless fight.

“I have no intention of fighting. I just need to meet the highest person in your guild.”

“Nonsense. These are not people that someone like you can just casually meet just because you want to.”

“Really? That’s too bad. This means that this isn’t enough. Do you think you’ll want to see me if I tear down the entire building’s defenses and destroy them?”

“You cheeky brat! Everyone, prepare for battle!”

“I’m sorry for barging in all of a sudden, but I can’t help it. If you don’t speak for the next three minutes, I’ll know you need something more. Three… … Two… … .”

At that moment, as mana surged through my body and the hunters’ suits began to glow with a blue light that seemed to be mana, a dimensional gate that looked different at first glance appeared, blocking our path.

The hunters who saw that cheered, saying that you are now as good as dead. It looks like you are either a strong guy or a high-ranking person. That’s good.

I was trying to somehow knock that guy down and negotiate, but as soon as I saw the person inside, I couldn’t help but freeze stiffly.

“What’s causing all this commotion?”

Blue hair that reaches down to her waist.

Golden eyes that seem to contain the sun.

A holy sword that shines golden.

“Who are you?”

That’s because Leona had almost lost all of her youthful appearance from her Academy days.

Leona looked at the hunters and me alternately with extremely cold eyes, then aimed her holy sword at me.

“Answer me. What kind of person are you?”

“Leona… … ?”

When I muttered that absentmindedly, Leona flinched.

From noble mtl dot com

“You, where… … is that name…?”

Leona, who had been trembling, froze when she saw the Dragon Sword in my hand. Her golden eyes widened in disbelief.

“That black… … No… … There’s no way… … How… … .”

As the atmosphere became more serious, a commotion spread among the cheering hunters. I stuck the Dragon Sword into the ground. The hunters were startled by my actions, but Leona was the only one staring at me.

I have to think about the simplest and most certain way to confirm my identity here.

A way to confirm that it is not a copy of the appearance or a clone, but a real mummy crate that we met in the novel.

If so, there was only one way.

The sun began to form on my left hand. Then, the holy sword, responding to the power of the Holy Spear, burned hotly as if in resonance. The sound of the hunters gasping in shock echoed over and over again.

“Mi… … La… … ?”

And there was one more person who was shocked.

After I summoned the Holy Spear and proved myself, it was chaos.

The female hunters approached without understanding the situation and were hit by Leona’s lion’s slap, asking who they dared to touch. Their faces turned pale and they ran away in a panic.

Leona approached me, not knowing what to do, and then jumped at me as soon as I moved to a place where no one was watching. Then she started sobbing so loudly that she couldn’t even breathe, let alone speak.

“… … Sob. Sniff.”

Now, she had calmed down enough to barely speak. As soon as she calmed down, Leona held me in her arms and made a call somewhere before raising her head.

“… … So, how much time has passed?”

“7 years… … .”

The sound of “crazy” came out on its own. Seven years, seven years? Has that much time passed already?

I wanted to ask if everyone was okay, but I couldn’t. There was no way they were okay. Right now, even Priscilla-

“… … .”

Goosebumps ran down my spine. I hope he didn’t go crazy or make an extreme choice because he couldn’t stand the situation without me.

-Kwaaang!

While I was sweating profusely, the door burst open and someone came flying in. It was Priscilla.

Priscilla threw herself at me as soon as she saw me. She didn’t need to do anything else. Priscilla hugged me and held me close to her, shaking her body and shedding tears that were almost like sobs.

I also stroked his head silently. Since his severed right arm hadn’t healed yet, I only used his left arm.

Soon after, the rest of the contacts began to arrive one after another.

“Hey! I told you to come back right away! How can you be… … Really… … Sigh… … .”

“If you clearly didn’t want to go through the funeral, you should have told me to come back with all my limbs intact… … No… … No… … Since you’re back now, that’s enough… … .”

“… … I don’t know what to say. I really have so much to say… … .”

Rosaria, Laura, and Elisier also came closer to me, shedding tears as soon as they saw me. Unlike Leona, who had lost most of her youthful appearance, none of them had changed at all. Not even the clothes they were wearing.

“Oh my… … Thank goodness… … Really… … Really thank goodness… … I thought I would never see you again… … Please never do anything reckless like that again… … .”

Next in line was the chairman. Erestica hugged me while crying, her breasts clearly larger than when I last saw her.

‘It got bigger? There?’

I doubted my eyes for a moment, but the size I saw before my eyes was real. I had a thrill thinking that it was possible for it to get bigger. What on earth happened?

“… … Nika?”

And I had to doubt my eyes the last time Nika came to see me. It was for the opposite reason as the chairman.

The size has been reduced to an absurd degree.

There was no need to doubt my eyes or think I was seeing things wrong. I had shrunk to a similar size to Leona, so what more comparison was needed?

“I had no intention of eating anything other than the food my master gave me.”

Nika smiled and cried at me. From what I heard, she said that since she came back here, she has been living solely on the remaining energy in her body. She has neither absorbed it nor obtained energy separately.

Thanks to that, he said that since 3 years ago when his regular schedule started to really hit rock bottom, he hardly even went out and spent most of his time lying in bed. I couldn’t help but swallow my bitterness when I heard that.

“… …Still, I’m glad you came back.”

‘I’m back, La.’

It was only then that it really hit me. The realization that this place I had arrived at was really the Earth I used to live on.

Time passed, and after day turned to night and night turned to morning, they were finally able to leave me. I dried my clothes, which were soaked with tears, and asked the question I had been holding back.

“What the hell happened? The gate, and the Hunter. When I first came here, I thought I had been reincarnated into another Hunter novel instead of coming back.”

“I investigated the reason why this happened while also finding out how to find you. Thanks to that, I was able to obtain some results.”

“What is the result?”

“When the dimensional gate finally shattered, not only us, but many other things flowed in. Thanks to this, the concepts of mana and monsters came into existence on Earth. Of course, it’s not exactly the same world as ours.”

“You said earlier that you thought you were possessed by a hunter novel, right? You’re not wrong. You really did change while you were gone. We did intentionally lead you to change like that, but you accepted it faster than I imagined.”

“… … Yeah. It would be better to do this for the sake of the Chairman and Nika, but… … What happened to the guild?”

“I thought you needed a place to return to. I don’t know when, but I thought you would definitely return.”

Laura gently stroked my cheek as she did so. The tears that I thought had stopped welled up again and glistened in the corners of my eyes.

“And so, you came back. There really is so much to say and do.”

“so do i.”

It was the same for me. There was still a lot to hear and say. It didn’t matter how long it took.

As Laura said, there is plenty of ‘time’.
